K2 GYRATOR SNOWBOARD
NEVER A DAY TOO DEEP
For those days when nothing should get in your way. Wake up, forget work, forget breakfast, forget it all…hey might as well forget the leg burn or leaning back too. Leave it all behind and just enjoy.
Who would’ve thought K2 could take everybody’s favorite powder board and make it even better? K2 has maintained the effortless float courtesy of K2 Powder Rocker and combined it with a slightly stiffer nose and tail for increased pop and stability. The Gyrators new Hybrilight construction makes the board lighter and the addition of vibration killing Harshmellow provides you with the quietest and smoothest ride you’ve ever had in the white room.

Paying homage to graphic greatness, our ultimate pow board is once again taking a look at our past and bringing it back to the future. The 2009 Gyrator has been reinterpreted with new school art and the ever present injection of classic K2 DNA. An Inlayed badge, metallic gloss hits, and windows to the full wood core all combine to visually reinforce the Gyrator legacy.

ROCKER
K2 has been perfecting ROCKER for years. Hundreds of different prototypes have taught that one ROCKER does not fit all. If everything from sidecut to flex to construction is different on a WWW and a Gyrator, why would the ROCKER be the same? That’s why K2 has created performance specific rocker for every style of riding. From Powder Rocker to Jib Rocker, there is a rocker for everyone. What level do you ROCK?
THE POWDER ROCKER
Rocker Range: 13mm+/260mm+
K2's highest amount of Rocker enables your board to float effortlessly in anything. The full length hyper progressive edge combined with the shortened effective edge makes the board maneuverable and lively on groomed terrain while the stiffer nose and tail prevent the board from buckling whether you are dropping a pillow line or sticking a 60-foot cliff.
HARSHMELLOW TECHNOLOGY
The industries first high performance damping system
Mellow the harshness of impacts and vibrations with the Harshmellow Ultimate
Dampening System. This unique elastomeric compound is tailored specifically for
your snowboarding needs to decrease vibration, minimize impact, increase
board feel, and maximize your potential. With Harshmellow added to specific K2
boards, boots, or bindings, each product works to individually dampen the jolts,
jerks, and jabs the mountain throws at you. Integrate all the different layers of
Harshmellow into a complete K2 board, boot and binding package to create the
ultimate defense against all forms of vibrations from chatter to stomps.
Snowboard Harshmellow incorporates a thin layer of Harshmellow synthetic polymer, designed to absorb high frequency vibrations associated with riding at high speeds is inserted on top of the core.
WH4 CORE TECH:
The WH4 Core maximizes absolutely every element of our core. With a greater
percentage of Honeykomb than the WH3 Core, it’s engineered to maintain
durability at minimal weight.
HYBRIlight SNOWBOARD Construction:
Innovated on the Ø last year, this construction features a thin, constant thickness
sidewall designed for maximum performance and minimal material usage. The
result is a lighter, more advanced snowboard with significantly less waste
produced in manufacturing. Better and greener, for all.
HYBRITAPER Tip
Hybritaper takes our Hybritech Construction, and tapers out the core at the tip
and tail to reduce the swing weight. K2 blends the tips from a cap into a thin
sandwich removing material where you don’t need it.
MATRIX II TORSION FORK CONSTRUCTION
Taking Matrix I‘s carbon performance and enhancing it with additional carbon
bracketing the center of the tip and tail = Unrivaled Ollie performance,
skateboard level pop and fine tuned edge control.
BASE TECH 4000 SINTERED
• Fastest natural base material available
• Exceptionally Durable
• Absorbs wax faster
• Retains wax longer
HYPER PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT CONSTRUCTION
This sidecut mellows out the transitions leaving you with the most predictable, best all around riding board on the market. Responsive enough for high-speed power carves but smooth enough to butter your way from the peak to park. An infinite number of different radius are blended together flawlessly from mellow in the tips, to more aggressive in the center. Any and every turn all in one.
